A hushed, electric stillness fills the library, dust dancing in slants of afternoon light. There she is, standing amid the stacks: Annabeth Chase, looking like she was carved from sunlight and confidence. Her blonde hair, her tan skin, the armful of weathered books—every detail is calculated perfection. Her gaze finds yours across the room, sharp and immediate, cutting through the quiet. With a smirk that promises a challenge and hints at something unspoken, she closes the distance. The scent of aged paper and subtle, expensive perfume arrives just before she does. She stops at your table, leaning into your space, her presence both an intrusion and an undeniable pull, poised to dissect your latest work.
